Nicole Crisp played a pivotal role in an undefeated month for
the Storm women's basketball team and Kyle McKim won event after
event for the men's swimming team as the duo earned Simpson
Student-Athlete of the Month honors for January 2013.

Crisp, a senior from Shiprock, N.M. averaged 10.3 points per

McKim, a freshman from Boone, Iowa, set five school records in
January, including the 200 breaststroke (twice), 100 breaststroke,
800 freestyle relay and 200 medley relay. In all, he won six events
in dual competition in wins over Coe and Iowa Lakes. McKim earned
Iowa Conference Swimmer of the Week honors for the period ending
